Synopsis
by Hal Erickson

Ubiquitous British game-show host Jimmy Tarbuck emceed this weekly, Sunday-night quizzer, which bore his nickname in the title. The contestants were given three-word phrases, with the middle word left blank. It was up to them to figure out the word that not only created a cogent phrase, but also linked the first word with the last (as in "Manual Labor Party"). Tarby's Frame Game was seen over Britain's ITV in 1989.
